 Hardly has the community recovered from the shock occasioned by the violent death and serious injury of two of its citizens respectively, than we are called upon to record the continued careless ness of human life displayed by the rail road corporation, and which came very near causing another serious catastrophe last Monday afternoon. A man driving bay horse attached to a business wagon coming from Fair Haven was crossing the track when the gate on the New Haven side was closed on him. At the same time train was speeding up from Belle Dock, and for moment it seemed as ii the fate that befel Mir. Ssott last December was to send another citizen into eternity. Bystanders shouted to the gate tender to lift the gate, and just as the locomotive was about to strike the wagon, the gate was lifted and the driver escaped with his life. But it was a "close call The gate was just high enough to barely permit the wagon to pass under as the train went laundering past,

 The Cradle of Liberty was given to the city of Boston by Peter Faneuil, and a covenant was made that it should be free for the use of it's citizens. No doubt the patriotic giver feared that some day hls countrymen might, through unforeseen changes, be deprived of a place wherein to express their grievances, and so cov- enanted that the hall which is named after him should be free forever. In or der to shut out the workingmen, sub sequent city government placed tax upon the hall, with the impudent asser. ton that a tax was necessary to make repairs, etc. But the rent derived from the stalls and basements is fully sufficient to cover all legitimate expenses.

A PECULIAR sPASM.
It Breaks the Leg of Young Man In n
Strange Manner,

It Breaks the Leg of Young Man In n
Strange Manner.
A very peculiar case Of muscular con
'OrtiOn was reported this morning,
which very clearly demonstrates the
wonderful power Of the muscles con
tsined In the human body.
Otis Slagle, q young man seventeen
years of 6ge, son of Henry Slagle, re-
siding sbont seven miles south of the
city, In Pike township, has been from
early childhood subject to fits or spasms
Of a very severe nature and Of very fre
quent occurrence On Sunday morning
while lying in bed one of these fits 0c
CURED, and the spasms were Of such
violent nature that his right leg WAS
broken completely in two. The femuI
or large bone of the leg was split from
end to end, commencing on the upper
part of the leg at the knee, the split
extended the entire length Of the bone
snd came out on the under side of the
leg at the hip. 1t appears that the con-
toFtiOns of the muscles were so great
that they twisted the bone Of the leg
right in half. About year ago the boys
left leg was broken straight off, close
up to the hip, in the same manner.
This occurred while he was sitting In
chair. 1t Ia difficult to tell whether he
will recover or not from this mishap,
as the spasms are likely to occur at any
time and part the bone after 1t has
been set.
